I was referred to Micheal to have a will done. I found him to be very personalbe and comfortable to deal with. Michael was also extremely reasonable with his rates. The work was done when he said it would be done. I had to change a couple of things toward the end and he graciously did this without any inconvience shown at all. I would go back to him for further work if necessary.
Specialize in Michigan Liquor License transfers and all related matters.
-Purchase/Sale of bars, convenience stores, etc.
-Liquor Control Code violations
For five generations, our family has engaged in the "liquor trade." Since 1900, one member of our family has, at all times, been engaged in the sale, transportation, or licensing of alcohol. I am proudly carrying on the family tradition.
By combining Jim Stariha's 46 years of liquor licensing & business law experience with my drive and thirst for knowledge, Jim and I have crafted "Stariha & Brower, PLC" the premier liquor licensing firm in Michigan. We work closely with manufacturers and retails in any matters involving licensing - including transfers, sales, liquor violations, and more. In addition, our backgrounds in property law and business law allow us to serve clients in a "one-stop-shop" manner, managing the various issues that may arise for any client.
On a personal note -
I am a proud resident of Muskegon and an afficianado of all things related to "Pure Michigan." Born and raised near the big lake, I enjoy spending my summers on the water. Much of my free time is spent with my wonderful wife and my two dogs.

"Securing liquor licenses is a specialized field, and it helps to have a lawyer who knows his way around the Liquor Control Commission. Michael Brower is a smart lawyer, all-around good guy, and has quickly become the go-to person in Muskegon and surrounding counties for LCC projects."

"Michael is far and away one of the sharpest attorneys I know when it comes to Liquor Law in the State of Michigan. His friendly and outgoing demeanor belie his tenacity as an attorney. I cannot say enough about Michael, his results speak volumes."
